In addition, students who are registered through a residency affidavit please be aware that Annually, each family who registered students in School District 308 by providing proof of residency with the use of a residency affidavit must update that information before enrollment can be granted for the following school year.  This is done each year to ensure accurate records and to remain in compliance with the residency requirements set forth by Illinois School Code and the Oswego Community Unit School District 308 Board of Education.  These families will receive communication the week of April 22.

Boulder Hill Drama Club Presents

Happily Ever Before

Friday, April 26th & Saturday, April 27th @ 7PM

Boulder Hill Elementary School

 

We are thrilled by the interest in our upcoming Drama Club performance! We did not expect such a huge demand for tickets.  We are working on options to resolve this issue and our hope is to provide access to the families of our performers to enjoy the performance.  One of which includes verifying and receiving an updated room capacity for the room location.  A second option will be limiting the number of tickets that families can purchase per day of performance. Ticket monies that have been collected by the due date have been recorded chronologically by date received.  We are hopeful that we will be able to accomodate the tickets that have been purchased.

 

In addition, please know that both performances will be recorded and a link to view the recording will be provided to families.

 

We will send out communication as soon as possible with the deteremined our next steps.

 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE WILL BE

NO TICKET SALES AT THE DOOR.
